Systems With Position Sensors - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240210712 titled 'Systems With Position Sensors
The abstract describes a head-mounted device, such as glasses, with displays and optical components that may cause image warping in the eye boxes due to misalignment. To address this issue, the device uses position sensors to measure the relative positions of the displays and waveguides, applying compensating image warping to correct the images.

Original Abstract Submitted
a head-mounted device such as a pair of glasses may have a head-mounted housing. the head-mounted device may include displays such as projector displays and may include associated optical components. the optical components may include waveguides that are used in providing images received from the displays to corresponding eye boxes for viewing by a user. changes in the relative orientation between the displays and waveguides may warp the images in the eye boxes. to compensate for this effect, control circuitry in the head-mounted device may use position sensors to measure the relative positions of the displays and waveguides. image warping due to misalignment between the displays and waveguides may be removed by applying compensating image warping to the images being produced by the displays.
